my internship advisers boss took me and my internship advisor out to lunch...during said lunch she tells me how much she appreciates my hard work etc(which surprised me cause i feel as though i'm not doing enough)

anyways, she gives me a card...i didnt want to open it at the table so i waited til we got back to the office...i opened it and the card had $100 in it....in my opinion, this is a little more than a "thanks for the money!" type things...what do yall think i should do to properly thank her? i feel i'm really bad at seeming gracious and i want to do something that shows her I am truly thankful....i'm not going to say anything today because I want to act like I didnt open it until i got home...but tomorrow the only thing i thought of so far was coming in super happy and giving her a big giant hug and telling her thanks...should i like get her a card or bake her some cookies or something?

A thank you card isn't necessarily out of the question. Make sure to drop it in her inbox or send it out by mail, though. Write something in it that's more personalized than "Thanks for the gift, -Me".

Just give her a hand written thank you note. Its always an appropriate way to go.

Send her a picture of your balls. She obviously wants you to be balls deep in her.

Don't spend money, she knows your are dirt poor (she doesn't pay you, and you talked about food stamps).

no thank you card will say "thank you" as much as continuing to work hard. that's what she's after.

1) get one of those childrens activity books

2) complete connect-the-dots puzzle

3) color resulting picture with crayons

4) write your name on the bottom (dont forget to have the 'J' going in the correct direction)

5) put on her desk

An autographed picture of yourself would be the best way to go IMO

that's a little inappropriate...

a hand written thank you card dropped in her inbox, or sent by mail is acceptable..

and what someone else said about continuing to work hard. (even though we all know you're on tww all day)

bttt...forgot to mention...so on my way out today i went up and thanked her for the card and lunch


shes like dont mention it and then was like did you open the card..i told her no that i was gonna open it when i got home and could relax cause it would make me happy...she was like oh i think you'll like it *wink wink*


my mom just said to tell her thanks and work really hard...shes like you dont give a card if you get a card...but she did see how writing a personal thank you note was better than just giving a card...prolly gonna just tell her thanks etc tomorrow....pretty sure to my bosses boss wipes her ass with 100 dollarbucks so i dont wanna go overboard in thanking her like i hit the lottery or something

Well, I did for all my relatives that sent me a card to congratulate me on graduating. It's a bit more of a tricky situation since you can just thank her in person, but the formal way to thank somebody for a gift is to send them a written thank you note.

[Edited on July 8, 2008 at 7:18 PM. Reason : BTW I only received money for graduation, so I got cards with money in them.]
